- 2331: A Streetcar Named Desire - Com
- It is the complexity of the main characters and their interactions that make A Streetcar Named Desire such a successful and challenging play. The play A Streetcar Named Desire made playwright Tennessee William's name and has deservedly since had over half a century of success. This remarkable success can be credited to the intricate characters and their interactions with each other. Sisters, Stella and Blanche have had an enjoyable upbringing on the family plantation, "Belle Reve". As the name suggests Stella and Blanche's time at "Belle Reve" was near perfect. Like all things perfect it had to come to an end. While Stella did the logical thing and left the 'beautiful dream' and married Stan, Blanche hung on to it unable to move on and face reality. Blanche comes to Stella in an unbalanced state of mind in need of her sister's aid. The impression is given that this isn't the first time Stella has been there to help Blanche through a time of trouble. As much as she needs her help and as much ...
- 2332: Analyse The Influence Of Nevil
- ... systematising of Local Government. As Chancellor of the Exchequer in the National Government from 1931-1937 he steered the economy back towards prosperity with a policy of low interest rates and easy credit. However Chamberlain's years as Prime Minister (1937-1940) and his appeasement policy of accommodating the European Dictators in order to avoid war, gives us the opportunity to analyse his influence on European International Relations. To many Chamberlain's era was the beginning of Britain's appeasement policy of avoiding war with aggressive powers such as Japan, Italy and Germany. However the origins of appeasement can be seen in British Foreign policy during the 1920's with the Dawes and ...
- 2333: The Positive And Negative Effects of DNA Profiling
- ... to determine the capacity of a person to contract certain diseases, such as sickle- cell anemia, which could cause many employers to hesitate in the hiring and training of such people. In the early 1970's, the United States began a carrier screening for sickle-cell anemia, which affects 1 in 400 African-Americans. Many of those identified as carriers mistakenly thought they were afflicted with this debilitating disease. Furthermore, confidentiality ... However, despite its growing number of utilizations, DNA profiling is extremely hazardous when results are inaccurate or used to discriminate. The frequency of genetic testing in criminal investigations (more than 1,000 in the U.S. since 1987) has been increasing dramatically despite the inconclusive testing by the scientific community in many aspects of forensic identification. A correlation between DNA patterns taken from a crime scene and taken from the suspect ... has also caused many problems within the legal profession. It is no longer enough for attorneys or members of the jury to merely be knowledgeable about the law. People need to familiarize themselves with today's scientific research rather than relying on the credentials of a scientific expert witness. Too often, jury members become in awe of the complicated, scientific terms used in court and take a scientist's testimony ...
- 2334: Preferential Hiring
- ... was devised to create harmony between the different races and sexes, has divided the lines even more. Supporters on both sides seem fixed in their positions and often refuse to listen to the other group's platform. In this essay, the recipients of preferential hiring will be either black or female, and the position in question will be a professorship on the university level. The hirings in question are cases that ... As Martin Luther King Jr. stated, judgment based on skin color must not exist. All preferential hiring does is keep judgments based on skin color alive. Race and sex should not be issues in today's society, yet preferential hiring continues to make these factors issues by treating minorities as a group rather than as individuals. More importantly preferential hiring may actually fuel, rather than extinguish, feelings of racial hostility. Applying ... sounds strikingly similar to a common argument for preferential hiring. I have been discriminated against, which has caused my self esteem to fall, and now I am stuck, with few role models to follow. Bill's success has probably been thwarted by more sources than the today's average black or female, but there is no provision in preferential hiring for him. Just like no one can control their race ...
- 2335: Night Out On The Ritz
- ... bar it self represents the jazz era, where everyone wore fancy clothes, partied all the time and tipped well. The bar is also a cold reminder how the Americans used to live in the 20s, since they have almost no money in the 30s. It also represents the old Charlie Wales and it serves as a reminder to the new Charlie Wales about his past. We were sort of royalty, almost infallible, with a sort of magic around us(89). The old Charlie Wales lived during the economic boom of the 20s, or other wise known as the jazz era. He lived a good life. During that time, he spent a lot of time drinking and throwing away money: he remembered thousand-franc notes given to ...
- 2336: Thomas P. O'Neill
- ... consultants to make over. He knew these qualities gave him his power because they "made him real." (Sennot 17) His gigantic figure and weather beaten face symbolizes a political force of five decades, from Roosevelt's new deal to the Reagan retrenchment. He was the last democratic leader of the old school and "the longest-serving speaker of the house (1977-1986) and easily the most loved." (Clift) Thomas P. O ... helped people (he once voted to put money into an appropriations bill to study knock knees)." (Gelzinas 6) When Reagan came into office in 1980 big government began to feel the pinch and O'Neill's big hearted liberalism was on the way out. In 1980, O'Neill was a target of a clever Republican ad campaign that pictured him in a limo as a symbol of a bloated out of ... had many questions about the war in Vietnam, but at first stuck with the saying by Samuel Rayburn, "When it comes to foreign policy- support the Pres." His attitude changed. He felt if the U.S. was to fight they should fight to win, and he did not think this was the case. Student kept badgering him with questions of his support of the foreign policy of Dean Rusk, the ...
- 2337: Sibling Relationships
- ... of these differences still manage to relate on an equal level. Siblings also have a common history of shared and non-shared experiences again strengthening the bond between them. Bill Cosby once said, "You aren't really a parent until you've had your second child." Parents of one child won't really understand this. Parents of two or more children will relate to this statement immediately. He was referring to the seemingly constant bickering and fighting between brothers and sisters. Myths & Theorists Adler (1959) believes that ... these are still going on today. Minuchin (1974) believed that rivalry between siblings was genetic. It has been argued that sibling rivalry can be a valuable childhood experience, siblings can learn to take other perspectives, ague their positions, negotiate to settle differences and many other skills needed in future life experiences. There has always been debate about the age gape between siblings and their influence on the relationship between ...
- 2338: Chromosome Probes At The Unive
- ... diagnostic tests, which, because the current tests are time consuming and technically difficult to do, are restricted to women over 35 and those who have a family history of chromosomal abnormalities. Prenatal tests using Willard's probes would be much simpler and faster to perform and could be available to all pregnant women who wish to take advantage of the technology. Current prenatal testing involves growing fetal cells in vitro and examining them, over one or two months, to see if there are two copies of a particular chromosome, which is normal, or one or three, which is abnormal. A test using Willard's probes would require only a few cells and a few days to detect abnormalities. "I don't think it's beyond the realm of possibility that these kinds of tests could eventually be done by an obstetrician in the office during the early stages of pregnancy," he adds. The determination of ...
- 2339: Unchained Heritage - Creative Essay
- Unchained Heritage - Creative Essay The Elder sat alone on a slab of granite outside a carelessly- erected tent on a Native reserve near Beardmore in northern Ontario, just east of Lake Nipigon. The previous night's rain was already drying off the ground, leaving only scattered mud patches in it's wake. Soon the early summer sun would turn these into crusty bits of dirt, only to be muddied the next rainfall. The roar of a twin-engine charter from Dryden filled the air. A squirrel ... the kids. "Let me look at you," he said pulling away. "You've grown!" Beaming faces looked up at him happily in response. A third child walked up and laid both hands on the Elder's shoulders."Hello, Grandfather," he said."How's life up here?" "Peaceful," he replied. "Have you finished school yet?" "No," laughed the oldest child. "You always ask me that same question; you know I still ...
